AI Agent Trust Gap: 97% of Agents Don't Disclose Identity

AI Agent Trust Gap: 97% of Agents Don’t Disclose Identity

AI, Application Development, Cyber Security, Enterprise Software, Machine Learning /

AI agents are logging in, signing up, and checking out on behalf of users across banking, travel, and tech platforms. Arkose Labs’ latest report finds that fewer than 3% disclose their identity, creating a structural gap that existing bot-detection frameworks can’t close. ECI Research connects this to broader compliance friction already slowing AI adoption in regulated environments.
